Henry TOELLE's naturalization in Feb 1860 is at NSW Archives .... indexed under two spellings : VOELLE and TOELLE.  He would have needed that to be eligible to purchase land in NSW.   :-X

Hello majm, Once again many thanks for all your help.  These posts are very helpful.  Still wondering though does the council or ? keep a record of why and who streets were named after.
Your input was much appreciated.
